You can’t get an oil change on Sunday. Trust me, you can’t. If you can, then I find you suspect. You see, I think I may have uncovered a new secret society! It wasn’t something I was looking for; it sorta just revealed itself one day. What I found proved…

The debate over abortion may never reach a satisfying conclusion for anyone involved. It’s probably the most downright nastily argued social issue in the country—and neither side can boast that they’re fighting fair. But this has been a banner month for Bible-thumping right-to-lifers. First, Dr. George Tiller, a doctor who…

I’ve never been a fan of Apple products. To me they’ve always been shiny empty cases with big price tags. Apparently, I’m not alone in my thinking; over the last nine years or so, a vibrant industry has arisen to fill this void. These days there are millions of shitty…

Thrilla in Manila is a new documentary currently airing on HBO. It follows Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier from their friendship to their falling out to, eventually, their third and final bout in Manila, Philippines. Whether or not you’re a fan of boxing (I am), it’s definitely worth checking out….
